Just wondering, are you basing it around the Debian experimental
packages I've been working with the debian packaging team on?
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-samba/samba.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/samba_4.0
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-samba/samba.git
(The reason I ask is that we need help finishing the work, and I'm
trying to avoid double-work and get a finished package ready for
everyone).
Thanks,
Andrew Bartlett
